Vologda has played an important role in the development of the Russian North. A secluded lake district, where the city is located, had been attracting monks since the fourteenth century. The majestic Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery and the chamber Ferapontov Monastery with Dionisy’s frescoes, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, have been preserved here since then. Vologda is called the city of fifty domes. Today there are 26 functional temples in the city, and this is only a third of the pre-revolutionary list! To see monasteries and churches, to learn all about the finest Vologda lace, famous in Russia, and appreciate a creamy flavor of the popular Vologda butter — these are the basic arguments for traveling to this northern quiet town.

Whatever the season, the Russian north possesses a special charm, with its forested landscape and old towns along river trading networks that once carried Russia's wealth to the West and to Siberia.  The faded glory of these historic settlements is particularly evident in the churches, great and small, that dot the countryside in various states of disrepair. They are at their best, perhaps, in the late summer, when the mosquito swarms have diminished and the sunlight is still rich and warm.

The famous house-museum of A.F. Mozhaisky is a two-story wooden house, barely visible in the thick of trees. The history of this house is closely connected with the name of Mozhaisky Alexander Fedorovich - a famous design engineer who worked and lived here from 1861 to 1868. The estate went to Alexander Fedorovich as a dowry after his wife Lyubov Dmitrieva - the daughter of the local court adviser Kuzmin D.I. Mozhaisky's wife was considered a very educated and interesting woman, whom many noble men wooed, but she preferred to choose Alexander Fedorovich.

Women weaved lace and put it up for sale. The lacemaking wasn’t the primary source of income, but it allowed urban low-income families to earn some money. But there were the people who had the lacemaking as the livelihood.

The Church of St. Alexander Nevsky is located on the right bank of the Vologda River, not far from the Cathedral of the Resurrection Cathedral, southeast of the Bishops' House. Previously, the church was named in honor of Nicholas the Wonderworker, but in 1869 it was renamed the Church of the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky. The place for the construction of the temple was very well chosen - the temple perfectly complements the cathedral panorama from the side of the Vologda River. The territorial zone in which the church is located, in earlier times was called the "Known Mountain" and was a lime mound.
